A Pennsylvania farmer writes that
where cows are yarded at night in
summer they will make good deal Of
manure during that season. while under
ordinary management much of this is
wasted. If the yard is not well bedded
the liquid portion is soon lost, while
the solid portions are dried up so as to
be nearly worthless. The manure
from a cow should be well worth one
dollar per month for the time she is
kept in the barnyard at night. This
is far too large sum to be wasted, .es-
pecially as the manure thus lost may
make the difference between successful
and unsuccessful cropping. Manure
on the farm ought to be, and is. worth
more to the farmer than its market
value. Farm, Field and StocknGn.

Which Will Save Many Lives.
Perhaps may as well stat, hero q
fact which I think is not generally
known outside of military circles. On
our landing in Egypt for the Soudan
expedition all colors of regiments were
left on board tho fleet, SO that British
soldiers. for the first time in history
went into action unaccompanied by
"Old Glory" whose silken folds had
been wont for centuries to flap among
the bayonets and sabers of its defenders
lin some cases jaunty and gay in the
bravery of new material and bullion
wrought device. in others simply a
grim, war-battered old emblem, but in
either case dear as life's pulse to each
other and every one in the regiment to
which each color respectively belonged.
1t may be recollected that at the battle
of Maiwand. in Afghanistan, in which
a certain infantry regiment was am
pushed, but could have escaped were it
not that the enemy devoted all his ener-
gies to the capture of the colors, the
men stood by them in defense, and so
were completely annihilated-wiped off
the army list, as it were. OF course,
the colors were lost. This decided the
War Office. and the order was issued
that henceforth British soldiers must
fight without colors.
1t is, perhaps, not generally known
that in the British service the colors
1.-TWO to each regiment were always
carried by commissioned officers =
generally the juniors as to service.
These colors were escorted by a color
guard consisting of the first or color
sergeants of each company, who were
also the pay sergeants. Now. in
action. in case the color-bearers were
shot down, there was always great
emulation on the part of other officers
to seize and bear them aloft, thus offer.
ing themselves as needless targets for
enterprising sharpshooters. This sort
Of thing might be repeated till all the
officers were placed hors da combat,
when of course, the real backbone of
the regiment (the non-commissioned
staff would be expected to take COM
mand; bat if the color-bearers were
swept off it would be quite likely that
the color-guard shared their fate, when
the regiment would quickly become
like ship without either a rudder or
pilot. Reasoning thus the magnates
of the War Office decided that the
carrying of colors entailed needless
mortality among the most efficient
members of a regiment. therefore the
practice must cease. as the army could
fight well enough without them. The
strangest part of it all is, the rank and
file now cheerfully coincide with the
views Of their superiors. Cor. Boston

FILLING OF sILos.
Experiments Proving the Fallacy Of q
Commonly Accepted Theory.

Experiments Proving the Fallacy Of .
Commonly Accepted Theory.
Two or three years ago Prof. Miles,
of the Massachusetts, State College and
Experiment Station. was lecturing and
writing on this subject. and recon-
mending the slow filing of the silos to
allow much fermentation and conse.
quently high heat, so as to kill the
bacteria. which, as he claimed. caused
the fermentation. He proposed to
favor their rapid development and
consequent high heat, which he claimed
would be diffused through the entire
mass, and when it reached a certain
stage it would kill all the bacteria and
thus prevent further deterioration.
That is. he would make these germs
of ferment their own destroyers.
This theory was new to most
farmers and was accepted by
many enthusiastic siloists as an
established fact, and by many it
was adopt n their practice on large
scale. But .ae recent experiments by
Prof. Goessmann seem to indicate the
fallacy of such theory. Prof. Goess-
mann filled two small silos of similar
capacity with like corn, excepting that
one of them was filed as rapidly as
possible. trodden solid and at once
weighed, while the other silo was filled
slowly, only trodden sufficiently to level
it and not covered until it had reached
a high heat. The result was that the
silo which was filed rapidly, covered
and weighed at once, did not attain
near so high heat as the one filed
slowly, and the contents of the one
rapidly filed was found to be in much
better STATE of preservation. of better
color and better relished by the stock,
and chemical analysis indicated it to
be of higher nutritive value than the
other. 1t was also found that it was
impossible to maintain uniform high
heat through the entire mass. 1t is
evident that the cold walls absorbed
much heat from the silos. The best
ensilage ever seen came from a rapidly
filled silo.-N Y Herald.
